sun-java6-plugin on amd64

I can't seem to get the Java6 plugin working on my 64-bit
testing/unstable system. I have the following installed:

sun-java6-bin install
sun-java6-jre install
sun-java6-plugin install

The Sun JVM seems to be the system default:

$ update-alternatives --display java
java - manual mode
link currently points to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
/usr/bin/gij-4.2 - priority 42
/usr/bin/gij-4.3 - priority 43
/usr/bin/gij-4.4 - priority 1044
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java - priority 1061
slave java.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/man/man1/java.1.gz
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java - priority 63
slave java.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/man/man1/java.1.gz
/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java - priority 1043
slave java.1.gz: /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/man/man1/java.1.gz
Current `best' version is /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java.

and yet Iceweasel steadfastly refuses to acknowledge the java6 plugin in
about:plugins. Has anyone actually gotten the 64-bit java6 plugin to
work, and if so, what is the missing incantation?
